CFP: Law, Culture, and Humanities 26th Annual Conference, University of British Columbia, May 17-18, 2024

Senses of Law

Law is heard, seen, experienced, felt, and understood in many ways. This year’s theme invites submissions on legal senses, sensibilities, and sensations. What satisfies “the sense of justice”? What makes for a legal sensation? How does law depend on, appeal to, or defy common sense(s)? What are the different sensibilities that law creates, cultivates, challenges, and ignores? How do the meanings that law takes for granted, or brings into being, fall differently on different ears?

Sex, Scandal, and Sensation

Tuesday 2 July 2024 to Thursday 4 July 2024 

Falmouth University, UK, in partnership with City University, Hong Kong

In 2014 Falmouth University hosted the hugely successful Haunted Landscapes conference, which was followed in 2023 by Haunted Landscapes: Nature, Super-Nature, and Global Environments. Sex, Scandal, and Sensation is the third conference in this series. It will, like its predecessors, be held in beautiful Cornwall on the Falmouth Campus amidst lush tropical gardens, only a short walk from the picturesque town and its beaches.

Our meeting will be devoted to exploring the main problems of contemporary literary culture. Embracing the foundational principles of Stefan Żółkiewski and equally foundational, though alternative, suggestions by Janusz Sławiński, we perceive it as an integral part of global social/cultural communication (the roles of writers, models, and the circulation of literature) along with specialized infrastructure (publishing, institutions, magazines/media, the literary market – the so-called literary life). It is also a dynamic system of author-reader relations and a set of dispositions/skills (knowledge, taste, competence) enabling a sense-making engagement with literary texts.

CFP - Unauthorized: Media Piracy, Digital Forgery and Generative AI

The specter of replicating – movement, physical reality, and life itself - has haunted cinema ever since Maxim Gorky stepped into the Lumières’ “Kingdom of Shadows.” Over a century later, digital copies and online piracy of media content raise questions of distribution, access, and emerging technologies’ impact on authorship, perpetuating the age of the unregulated reproduction. More recently, AI’s entry into creative production has made concerns over image duplication and fabrication as urgent as ever.
